...only option it has found. It would break many of the close economic, political and legal links that have grown out of years of occupation, from the Israeli cell phones that Palestinians carry at their hips to the Palestinian sweet potatoes on Israeli dinner tables. Israeli Foreign Minister Shlomo Ben-Ami says the separation plan will kick in only if Arafat declares his state unilaterally, as he threatens to do after Nov. 15. That state was supposed to be negotiated with Israel, so, Ben-Ami says, Israel will view a declaration as the end of the peace process. President Bill...
Quizzed about Pope John Paul II's visit to the Holy Land, Israel's Internal Security Minister Shlomo Ben Ami predicted it would be "almost of eschatological magnitude." Eschatology is a term used to describe ultimate things such as judgment, heaven and hell. Since Ben Ami is not Christian, his use of it regarding a Catholic pontiff was probably figurative.

Indeed, it is the fool, named Shlomo, who poses the question of the movie: "The question is not whether God exists. The question is whether we exist...
...Shlomo who frames the entire movie. He is the village fool, but following a long literary and dramatic tradition, this fool is ultimately the wisest of them all. Not only does Shlomo come up with the original fake deportation train idea, but he continually saves the day along the dangerous journey to freedom by coming up with more silly and crazy plans. He is simple, carefree and innocent, and this allows him to be, at times, the only one who is fully aware of what is at stake in their struggle. French actor Lionel Abelanski is blessed with an endearing...
